“Just so you know Gallagher Girl,' he whispered softly, 'I'm going to kiss you now.”
“He grinned at me and whispered, “I’m going to kiss you now. It’ll be a big one, so don’t hit me.”
“Are you going to kiss me?" I blabbered stupidly."I'm working up the nerve," he said softly.”
“I can't help it that I'm susceptible to you," he whispered. "You know that. It's just that you're so...unreal...and so I have to touch you. If only to be certain that I'm not the one who's dreaming. You see, I hear that sort of thing is going around.”
“I'm going to kiss you now, and I don't know if I'll ever stop.”
“Do you want me to kiss you. Anastasia?" he whispers softly in my ear."Yes," I breathe."Where?""Everywhere.”
